Deutschland befindet sich inmitten eines umfassenden Transformationsprozesses hin zu einer klimaneutralen und nachhaltigen Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft. Sowohl das Erreichen der Klimaziele als auch die Anpassung an die Folgen des Klimawandels fordern ein rasches, bestimmtes und gleichzeitiges Handeln in vielen Sektoren und Lebensbereichen.
Normen und Standards können einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Erreichen dieser Ziele leisten. So haben Normungsorganisationen weltweit mit der ISO London Declarationeinen Pakt zur Unterstützung des Klimas geschlossen. Das bestehende Normenwerk muss auf Klimawandel-Tauglichkeit überprüft und eine Überarbeitung angestoßen werden.
Der Klimawandel als Querschnittsthema betrifft alle Wirtschaftszweige, und daher bieten DIN, DKE und VDI mit dieser durch Impulsvorträge eingeleiteten Diskussionsreihe eine Plattform zum Austausch über Normung als Werkzeug zum Thema Klima mit allen Akteuren.
„Getränkekühler optimal einsetzen“: So sparen Sie die Energiekosten und schonen das Klima.
Wussten Sie, dass Sie durch den Einsatz eines effizienten Getränkekühlers (Energieeffizienzklasse B) ca. 114 € pro Jahr sparen im Vergleich zu einem weniger effizienten Gerät (Energieeffizienzklasse D)? Aber nicht immer gibt es die Möglichkeit ein Neugerät anzuschaffen. Oft werden die Kühlgeräte von Getränkeherstellern zur Präsentation ihrer Waren zur Verfügung gestellt. Trotzdem tragen am Ende die Betreiber:innen die Betriebskosten der Geräte.
Aber auch beim Einsatz Ihres weniger effizienten Getränkekühler gibt es verschiedene Möglichkeiten, die Energiekosten zu senken. Beispielsweise kann schon der Einsatz einer Zeitschaltuhr zu einer Stromreduzierung von bis zu 50 Prozent oder auch die richtige Platzierung der Geräte an kühlen Orten ohne Zugluft zu einem geringeren Strombedarf von bis zu 30% führen.
In unserer Checkliste für die Aufstellung und das Betreiben von Getränkekühlgeräten zeigen wir Ihnen einfache Schritte, um den Energieverbrauch schnell zu senken.
The global COVID-19 pandemic has brought far-reaching changes for our society. Suddenly, millions of people spent the majority of their time at home - either due to a lock down or by switching from office to working remotely. This paper offers a literature review regarding pandemic-related behavioural changes and a first mapping of likely consequences for EU Ecodesign regulations. These impacts are considered for product groups that are already regulated by EU Ecodesign or are under discussion for future regulation. Furthermore, potential for smart home applications are analysed exemplarily. We identified which behavioural changes have the potential to become established in the long-term. This might need to result in adaptions for regulations under the Ecodesign Directive and EU-Energy Labelling regulations to better reflect the recently appeared usage profiles. It might require different priority settings regarding the product groups to be regulated and communicated to users, due to online shopping proliferation, to be updated. Changed behaviour can be observed in product groups such as ICT, consumer electronics and household appliances. Examples include the increased use of laptops and tablets for digital teaching, use of gaming devices and office equipment in private households (IT, printing and network devices) and changed cooking behaviour. This resulted in increased sales of some product types. Online sales became even more important than in-store sales, which also means that consumers are increasingly informed online about energy efficiency. More do-it-yourself (DIY) home projects result in more frequent - not yet regulated - DIY power tool use and over the long run might stimulate the need for (semi-)professional tools. The changes in behaviour patterns also offer the opportunity to optimize consumption by means of smart homes and smart products. However, the control of networked household appliances requires additional energy for standby states and data exchange. As an illustrative example, we discuss the conflict between higher energy consumption for smart system components and the possible optimization of consumption in private households.
In 2020, the European Commission has announced to propose a Sustainable Product Policy for the EU which shall ensure that the performance of front-runners in sustainability progressively becomes the norm. In addition, the European Commission has re-emphasised the necessity to significantly improve the effectiveness of the current Ecodesign framework for energy-related products.
With this paper, we present an initial outline of a policy approach which we call the “EU frontrunner approach”. The approach aims at installing a regulatory framework which enables a semi-automated, progressive adaptation of ecodesign minimum requirements for products. It builds on performance levels of the best products available on the market by aggregating information in a database.
The “front-runner approach” could first be applied to progressively adapt product-related minimum energy-efficiency requirements. This way it would serve as a starting point to introduce this conceptto the EU policy arena.
While the approach can be applied for energy efficiency, it is neither limited to energy-related products nor to energy-related requirements. It can be applied to the wide range of nonenergy related products within the scope of the upcoming Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) as well as to non-energy-related requirements, such as minimum requirements for durability, reparability, recyclability and recycled content.
The Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) has developed a load-based test method (compensation method) to determine the energy efficency of heat pumps and air conditioners. The method allows for testing with unfixed compressor speed and active control of the unit. Thus, at low part loads the unit under test is allowed to cycle on-off, when the frequency of the compressor drops below its minimum threshold. Therefore, the associated efficiency losses are directly measured and correction calculations as for the current steady state tests become obsolete. In addition, the testing can be performed without the support of the manufacturer by market surveillance authorities, for instance, since no frequency and expansion valve settings are required. To prove that the compensation method is repeatable and reproducible three round robin tests have been organised by BAM.
